Chapter 12: Alone


"Wait don't leave me here" Kiri yelled at the retreating figure but it kept on walking, his silver hair blowing in the breeze behind him. She tried to run but she wouldn't move something was holding her back so she watched the retreating figure slowly disappear. "Don't leave please don't leave me here, I'm tired of being alone" Kiri fell to her knees crying.

"Wait" Kiri whispered when she jumped awake almost falling out of the tree. When she steadied herself she just sat there with a thin layer of sweat on her face. "I need to take a walk" Kiri jumped down from the tree and started walking away until a voice stopped her.

"Where are you going?" Inuyasha asked

"For a walk, I'll stay closewhat are you doing up?"

"You should know, just doing the rounds just to make sure there are no demons near by, you used to help me with it" Kiri just shook her head and continued walking. She returned an hour later and went into a restless sleep. No dreams came to her this time.

The next day Inuyasha woke the group up early so they could get started on their way to the village. It was only a half a day walk to the village. Once there Kiri told them everything, leaving out the part with her and Sesshoumaru of course. Inuyasha decided to give the group two days off to rest before they go shard hunting and mainly because he wanted Kagome and Sango to talk to Kiri. He knew that she wasn't telling them everything; there was something she was keeping to herself.

Sango and Kagome decided that Sango would be the one to talk to Kiri because they could relate to each other. They had both lost their family and with no one. They were both used for some else's gain. Sango by Naraku and Kiri by her father. So if you put those together they are very much alike.

Kiri was sitting in her favorite tree by the river that ran through the village when Sango came by. "Hey Kiri, can I talk to you a minute?" Sango asked looking up into the tree.

"Sure" Kiri jumped down from the tree to meet Sango on level ground.

"Let's take a walk" Sango suggested waving a hand out in front of her. Together they walked through the village. "Is every thing alright Kiri?" Sango asked

"I'm fine, what makes you think something's wrong?"

"Well you have been really quite lately, usually you're really out spoken and talk a lot but you've barely said a word since you came back" Kiri didn't reply she only walked on staring and the road. "What happened when you were with Sesshoumaru? Did he hurt you?"

"No he didn't hurt me, nothing happened I told you guys every thing"

"Your lying Kiri, there's something your not telling uscome here" Sango dragged Kiri into some shade under a tree in a secluded area where they could talk without anyone listening in on them. "Sit down we need to talk" Kiri sat down hugging her knees close to her chest. Sango sat down next to Kiri. "The reason why I'm talking to you is because we are the same, both of our family was killed and we were both used. We can trust each other, whatever you tell me will stay between us and only usso spill, tell me every thing."

"Well I told you everything about the Naraku part, and I also told you everything about Sesshoumaru"

"Well tell me again, from that beginning"

"I fought with Naraku you know that. When he knocked me out I remember waking up in a bed, Sesshoumaru was there, he saved me,he...he took care of me."

Sesshoumaru actually took care of you, he was nice. Even after he threatened to kill you?"
"Yes, he took care of me, made sure my wounds healed right and they did. Nothing sacred except the one on my cheeck, thats the only one that scared."

"Why did he keep you there, what did he want?"

""He wanted me to be Rin's mother and like a fool I eccepted it, I stayed to be Rins mother. It wasn't that bad really i had fun playing with Rin and just like Inuyasha Sesshoumarulikes to start arguments. Every day he would start an argument with me over nothing...but that one day changed everything."

"What do you mean, did he hurt you Kiri?"

"He saved me, took care of me, gave me a place to live. I kinda saw him as my hero, after i lived with him i started to feel something for him. I started to love him, then that night before you guys came he said that I was nothing to him, I was only there to be Rins mother. He broke my heart."

"Oh, Kiri, I'm so sorry. I hope he didn't make you cry."

"Even if i wanted to I dont think I could, I haven't cried since I was eight. I promised that i would never cry agian, I would never show how weak I was, I think i forgot how to cry...ummm Sango do you think we could head back now? it's going to be dark soon and tonights the night when i turn human."

"Yeah, and don't worry about it I wont tell any one what you told me, It's just between us."

"Thank you"

"You know it's funny that you turn human the day after Inuyasha" Sango started a conversation as they walked back.

*** (Later that night) ***

The group was back at Keade's chatting around the fire about everything like their embarresing moments or Miroku's perveted ways.

"What do you like best, Inuyasha's human form or hanyou form?" Sango asked Kagome

"Deffinatly his hanyou form because in his humanform he doesn't have those cute little ears" Kagome answered reaching up and rubbing his ears.

"Ok Sango what do you like best?" Kagome questioned

"I think I have to agree with you, I kinda like his ears" Sango laughed

"I have a question for Miroku" Kagome smiled evily "What do you like best, Kiri's human or hanyou form?"

"I like her hanyou form because I like her golden eyes"

The group looked over at Kiri sitting in the corner of the hut next to Sango and Inuyasha. Her no longer blonde hair but a light brown and rather than her golden eyes a light blue. She was in her human form and completly hateing it. "Don't think that I'm going to be nicer to you just because you said that Miroku" Kiri stated

"Why Kiri I'm hurt" Miroku mocked a hurt face. Everyone just laughed.

"I'm going to take a bath. Kiri, Sango would you like to join me?" Kagome asked. They both decided to go and gathered their stuff, threatened both Miroku's and Inuyasha's life then left to go take their bath.

*** (In the bath with the girls) ***

"Oh this is great" Kagome announced as she slid into the warm water.

"It was really nice of Inuyasha to give us a couple days rest" Sango mentioned

"Yeah but I'm ready to get back on the road agian" Kiri said.

"I don't know, I kinda like this" Kagome said sinking deeper inot the water.

"Yeah but i have been realaxing a lot longer than you have" Kiri stated

"That's right you have been living with Sesshoumaru while we were looking for you. So tell me what's it like living with Sesshoumaru, you know living the high and mighty life for a while?" Kagome questioned.

"You know I'm tired, I should go get some sleep" Kiri didn't want to answer the question. Instead she avoided it by getting up and leaving a confused Kagome and a worried Sango. Kagome waited until Kiri was gone before she turned to Sango to ask a question "What happened at Sesshoumaru's?"

"I'm not allowed to talk about it I promised I wouldn't, but I can tell you that didn't hurt her, nothing bad happened" Sango answered

"What should I do, should I go apologise to her?" Kagome started to pannic.

"No. Just dont ask her any more questions about that, she's still a little worked up about what happened"

Mean while Kiri was walking down the hall trying to dry off her hair "I can't cry, I won't show how weak I a'm...OH why does my hair have to be so long, it takes forever to dry!"

"But I think you look nice with long hair"

Kiri turned around to the person behind her cursing the fact that she was human tonight "Miroku how long have you been there?"

"I just walked in on you yelling at your hair"

"Right...well I'm tired so I'm going to go to sleep ok"

"All right well good night" with that Kiri left to go to her room and try to get some sleep.
