InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ They need you ❯ Chapter 6 : Souvenirs and....surprise! ( Chapter 6 )

Disclaimer : InuYasha is the property of ….someone else ! :D

Absolutely not me…life is unfair, doesn't it ?

 

 

 

 

 

Previously in the chapter 5 :

Kagome was asked who she really is…She explained how she come across all her travel companions and the youkais present to the reunion. They didn't really believe her so she made them watch a video from her home on her cell phone. She was ask now if they can watch the video from her deceased friends…

 

 

 

Chapter 6 :

Souvenirs…and surprise !

 

 

Kagome was still a little lost in her throughs when Kouga, the wolf prince asked her if she had made the other video, there, in the past.

 

In fact, Kouga is a little disturbed to ask that to her. She is obviously still in pain by her lost…but the first one, even if you can see his former enemy for the attention of the young miko only a few seconds, this make him nostalgic somewhere and he want to see all of them at least once more…But he will never, even under tortures, admits that somewhere he miss the famous hanyou…even in death, never !

He is curious to see how was InuYasha in reality…since he never saw him in other situations than when he interposed himself between Kagome and him or defending the life of his group.

 

Kagome was take back by the question and reflect during some seconds. But she decide that he, they have the right to see it

 

- Hai. Shippo-chan, can you put the next one, like I show you, please ?

 

She speak with a little voice making some people in the room to be anxious for her… but not all of them, of course. Kouga regrets almost instantly to have ask that, cursing mentally his curiousity. The three others who watch the video look at her, try to judge if it was a good idea to stir up painfull and still recents events…

 

Without giving a proper answer, Shippo jump on the table and put the next video before coming back on the lap of the miko.

It seems to be a camp

 

- Hello Mom, Gramp pa, Souta. Like promised mom, a little film of my friends from this side of the well.

Here it is Sango-chan, there Miroku-sama, the little neko here is Kirara the friend of Sango and there this little lovely ball of fur it's Shippo.

 

Everyone say hi.

 

-And of course on the top of this three, there is InuYasha. (She says, showing with one finger the closest three where the hanyou is sitting).

 

She prevents that she put the phone on the rock so that she can film during their meal.

 

InuYasha seems really unhappy. It's normal…not Ramen tonight ! ( :) )

 

Everything is held normally…until they can heard a scream : « HENTAI » and the noise of a slap, sending the young monk look at the grass from a lot closer.

 

- But my dear Sango, it's not my fault. My hand have a mind of herself

 

- Yeah, of course

 

- Lady Kagome, please come to my rescue

 

- And why would I do that, Miroku-sama ? I remember really well that you gropped me when I was preparing our meal and you said exactly the same excuse…be happy, you are still conscious

 

- But that can easy change, adds the slayer fulminating

 

- I'm so misunderstood

 

Sango and Kagome look at each other before brush in laugher

 

- of course Houshi-sama - Yeah, you are so innocent, giggled

 

Soupir

 

The meal continu peacefully until : a problem. One fish but two predators : InuYasha and Shippo.

They jump on it at the same time, but of course it's the hanyou who catch it first.

 

- Hey, it's mine !

 

- In your dreams, Runt

 

- I'm younger and still growing. It must be mine

 

- I'm more stronger and I have to fight to protect your body in growth so it is mine

 

With that, he eat the fish. They fight during a moment and like always, Inu win. Kagome finally give her half eaten fish to Shippo.

 

After that, they clean everything and the girls take their things to bath. Shippo go with them since today there isn't a private discution. Before leaving, they tell to Miroku to stay where he is that they can protect themselves during their bath so they don't need him near at all.

 

Some minutes after they leave, Miroku get up and take the direction to where the girls disappear in the woods. But he is rapidly catch up

 

Jumping just in front on him :

 

- where do you think you are going, Monk ? crossing his arms on his chest

 

- Oh, InuYasha…euh…nowhere just a little walk before going to sleep

 

- Keh ! And by the purest hasard, the direction of your « little walk » is precisely towards the springs where Kagome and Sango are…Perverted monk

 

- Someone have to go to…to be sure they are safe. It is dangerous in the woods the night

 

- Stop your excuses Miroku, you just want to spy on them. The only danger for them there, it is you

 

- Ok, ok it's true, but i'm not the only one who die of desire to go

 

- Pardon ?

 

- Don't play the innocent, you desire almost as much than me to go to see them bathe

 

- Stop your stupidity Monk

 

- No one blame you my friend, Lady Kagome have a really beautiful and perfect body with every form at the good place…but you already know that, aren't you, InuYasha ? innoscently

 

- I don't know what you are talking about (trying to mask his blushing face)

 

- Of course you don't InuYasha (grinning). Can we go now, before they finish ?

 

But when he start to walk :

 

-No, you stay here, perverted Monk

 

He catchs him but a little violent. When Miroku touch the ground, he is knock out.

 

At the same moment, a noise in the bushes draw his attention : Kagome.

 

- What happens ? designating the unmoving Miroku

 

- Oh, Euh…. I stop him before he had the time to go spy at you

 

He says that, try to cover his face growing more and more red.

 

- Oh ! So I suppose I have to thank you, InuYasha.

 

But she seems, by her answer, to have see something different in the comportement of the hanyou, eyeing him suspisciously like to try to guess what cross his mind at the moment.

 

Feeling her inquisitive glance on him, the poor hanyou jump to one feet to the other, trying to think rapidly at a way to stop that torture. He didn't do anything wrong so why did he feel so….guilty. Stupid monk with his stupid suggestive through and inquisition

 

- Why are you already here, Kagome ? trying to change the subject, and happy to see her back to her normal self, stopping her inquisitive glances

 

- Oh, I just forget something

 

With that, she walk towards the phone and turn it off.

 

 

 

 

8888888888888888888

 

 

This time, when the video ends and all the glances turn in her direction, Kagome through that she could have melt from the shame, her face burning from her blush.

 

- Kagome…you know I have something to say to you

 

- I listen, Shippo (happy to direct everyone on a different subject)

 

- I made others video things when you didn't look

 

She is, to say the least, really stun

 

- I don't know if it's a good idea but may be it's important that you at least listen them

 

- Ok, Shippo. Her curiosity awaken

 

 

 

888888888888888888

 

 

 

The camp. The night is still young. They just went to sleep … but Kagome can't sleep. Her glance travel on all her companions before stop on the hanyou. No tree tonight, so there he is, back against a rock, sleeping. Perfect, she through.

She smile lightly and delicatly, no wanted to awake any of them, walk toward the hanyou. She fall on her knees quietly before him. No reaction. She raise her hands towards the top of his head when they are catch, provoquing an « eeep ! » escaping from the young woman mouth

 

- What do you thing you are doing, wench ?

 

- No…nothing

 

- Feh.

 

- Oh ok. Please InuYasha let me

 

- No

 

- But

 

- No

 

- Why not ?

 

- What it is with the women of this family and my ears ?

 

- I can help there are so fuzzy, so cute

 

- They are not cute

 

- Of course they are ! Please let me rub them

 

- No

 

- But you like it

 

- I do not

 

- You like it and the last time I rubbed them when we were alone You purred

 

- I do not purr !!

 

- If you say so…5 minutes ?

 

- No

 

- 5 secondes

 

- I say no

 

- You are not funny, poutting and positioning her back against the rock

She soupir. After a moment, she put her head on his shoulder

 

- I through you was mad

 

- I am

 

- You should go back in your sleeping bag thing. It's not comfortable for you here

 

- Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine there.

 

She soupire again but not the same kind of soupir.

 

- Do you know where the little runt is ?

 

- He said he will go back rapidly. He went with Kirara.

 

He blush lightly, passing his arm around her waist, bringing her back more close to him, profiting to brush his thumps on her necked flesh under her pyjamas shirt,on all the way : back, hip, stomach.

 

Kagome shiver a little, blush too but doesn't protest at all.

 

InuYasha smile.

 

- Good night, InuYasha. She whispered before falling asleep

 

- `Night…Kagome

 

At this moment, we can heard a grin before the video was turn off.

 

(It was Shippo. The kind of grin he made when a was the enemy, because infected by a parasite, in an episode of the anime. For the ones of you who watched the anime, :) )

 

 

888888888888888

 

 

When the video was finished, all the watchers' glances turn toward her again. She is red like a tomato, thinking back of what InuYasha did this night and the reaction of her body.

Three of them have a smile of their face.

 

In the room, you can't see anyone beside them, have a reaction.

 

Like always, Sesshomaru stay impassible, but in his mind he smile at the antic of the young miko with his half brother's ears. Strange human, indeed.

He can understand that it was difficult to him, her obviously liking of his ears, because after all, they were the most evident proof that he was neither human or pure blooded youkai. It was easily to guess that he really didn't like them. He almost laugh at the idea of InuYasha purring when his ears are rubbed. This information would have been priceless during their oral fight. He could have make him really bad. But, he will never be able to use this against his brother. That make him a little sad. Not that he regrets his brother, just their fights, an interesting form of relaxation from the stress of his rang. He is really disgusting by his own throughs, and push it away.

 

Shippo take the cell phone and put the other one on.

 

 

 

8888888888888888

 

The camp, another day.

 

- Why are you so strange InuYasha ? You stay often alone to think…Is everything ok ? ask Kagome, worried, sittind by his side

 

- I'm perfectly fine

 

- Hmmfh…liard

 

- Leave me alone, wench

 

- InuYasha, why don't you want to speak to me ? Often you ignore me…Did I do something wrong ?

 

- Don't be stupid wench, I'm fine and I don't ignore you

 

- Of course you did, you do that often since sometimes now. Since what happened when she…

 

- Don't continu

 

She turn around to not face him. She seems really hurt emotionally

 

- You are mad at me ? I'm sorry if this time I couldn't save her, but I think it was what she wanted or known that would happen

 

- I don't think so

 

- What ?! She was the one asking me to fire an arrow on her, saying that would free her and may be killed Naraku (she was in the arms of him when she died) but when she fell on the ground she said that she was free now when I asked why she was dieing (again) she said that I finished to purified the part of my soul she held. (Kagome start to cry, but do not stop) I think she known exactly what would happened. She found her peace now. Even if it's difficult for you, she couldn't walked in this clay body always, her place are not on the Earth anymore. Don't be mad at me, I saved her « life » some times, even risking mine, for someone who try to kill me almost each time she saw me, trying to drag you in hell. She was the one who stole me the close to half jewel to give it to Naraku permitting him to create offsprings. She even worked with him against you, against us at the begining (she scream more and more noisely). It's not my fault what happened. She was dead fifty years ago already ! (she calm down a little). I know that you are sad that…you loved her but you don't have to avoid me for something I'm not the cause in reality. Since the first time that she tried to kill me, I could have call back this piece of my soul stolen, but I didn't do that…because of you. I'm not her !!!!

 

- I know you are not her. You are nothing like her.

She stops and looks at him

 

- What do you mean InuYasha ? It is a good thing or a bad thing for you ?

 

He doesn't answer. She become angry again

 

- Of course I'm not her or like her. And you want to know I'm really happy for that. Never I could do what she did…make others suffer and kill without any reason. Never have confidence in anyone even the people you supposed to love… I'm nothing like her that's right (she cry again) But you, you are like her

 

At that he raise his head and look at her

 

- What do you mean wench ?

 

- Nothing, forget it

 

- No, you are going to say to me why you said that, now !!!

 

- You are kind of like her because you make me suffer !

 

- Keh ! And how I do that, wench ?

 

- You perfectly know how. You know what I feel. You know that each time you went to see her, you know what that did to me. I said that I accepted that you still love her, I would never ask you to choose and that I will still stay by your side even if each time you leave to see her my heart broke. Each time I saw you embrancing, or…kissing. But the worst is that you promised me, in the tomb of your father that you will always protect me, but after that she was bringing back…Each time you saw her soul catchers you didn't even think there is danger or not, you just leave. I was kidnapped by Naraku and by how many others. I almost die I don't know how many times. You known that Naraku wanted me die but you leave me alone to go see a corpse !

 

- Stop yelling at me wench, you are worst than me

 

- What ?!?

 

- You, you known what you risked but on your side you did worst…I still didn't know what happened between you and the wampy wolf

 

- What ? What Kouga have to do in the story ? And nothing happened in his dent, ok ? When He kidnapped me he wanted to give me to his wolves to eat !

 

- And what did you do to make him change his mind, wench ?

 

- Who do you think am I ? I didn't do anything ! It's just because I can see the shards

 

- So by magic he passed from wanting to kill you at crying everywhere that you are his woman, eh ?!? Don't give me that crap ! There is nothing between you but you always defend him

 

- Kouga-kun is just my friend and don't expect me to stay still when you try to kill any of my friends, baka ! You are as much stupid one than the other. Each time you see each other, you fight like kids. How can you insinuate that I could have do anything. You certainly did more with her than I never did and I didn't saw all your « rendez-vous ».

 

She get up.

 

- Where do you think you are going wench ?

 

- Where do you think I go, I come back home baka, baka, BAKA ! OSWARI !!

 

And she run from the camp,….crying

InuYasha, after a moment, go out of the hole, his ears flattened, disappearing in his hair, looking at the direction she went, his eyes downcast, soupiring

 

Noise in the bushes and :

 

- How can you do that to her, InuYasha ! (Sango)

 

- It's none of your concern

 

- How can you say that ! Kagome is like a sister for me and you seems to have a evil pleasure to make her heart broke each time you have the occasion ! Of course i'm concerned

 

- Leave me alone

 

- You deserve that I reduce you in pulp !! She supported all your escapades to go see that clay pot bitch when that made her totaly miserable. Don't you see that she loves you ! She even almost give her life to save your clay pot even after she tried to kill her, just to not make you sad. That made two years…two years that she support that ! How can you even have through one time that that corpse was better than her. Kikyo and you didn't really love each other !

 

- What ?!

 

- Try to calm down, Sango

 

- Don't try to calm me Houshi-sama. That's enough. InuYasha you are totaly stupid ! You don't even see what is in front of you

 

- Oi wench, I will not leave you insult me like that

 

- Stop InuYasha

 

He turn around to face Miroku who continu

 

- You know she is right. Kagome-sama could do anything for you. Reflect well, if fifty years ago, that wasn't Lady Kikyo but Lady Kagome, do you think you would have ended pinned at this tree ? honestly

 

InuYasha calm down and sit down with a little no

 

- No, of course not. Kikyo-sama wanted you to use the jewel to become human because she never accept your demon side. In another hand, Kagome-sama accept all your sides : human, hanyou and even full demon. She accept you for what you really are. When you transformed in your full demon form, she never back down even if she would have. It was the only person you sometimes know in this state when you are suppose to not reconized friend or enemy when you didn't have tessaiga with you. (a little laugh) She even come between you and Sesshomaru-sama, calling him a baka and stopping him from killing you. Even if I think he was just there to test you and know why you can change in full demon.

And another thing, I think you know like us that if, like it's happened a lot of times, Naraku try to trap you and Kagome-sama like he did with kikyo, this never worked and will never work. That's why Sango said that it wasn't a real love between you two. At her place, Lady Kagome would guess something was wrong. A total acceptance for what the other is, without wanting to really change him, the confidence, are the bases of real love and friendship.

You know I'm right, don't you ?

 

Inu, lower his head and finish by saying : yeah

 

- So why you do that, InuYasha ? Why do you do that to her like if she was nothing ! scream Sango

 

- Because it's better for her ! scream InuYasha too

 

- What ?! a confused slayer

 

- It's better for her… She mustn't come too close to me

 

- And why that ?

 

- Because she deserve better ! explosed the hanyou. But he calm down instantly and look at the ground, soupiring and saying softly : - She deserves better…than me

 

- Why do you say something so stupid

 

- It's not stupid. Look at me ! I'm an hanyou, an half breed. I'm nothing. Humans hate me and want to kill me because I'm half demon and demons want to kill me because I'm half human. Even my own brother want to eliminate me because he thinks that I taint the name of the family. I have nothing for her. When the jewel will be whole again, she will go back to her time and there is a possibility that the well will be closed. She deserves more than to live a life of downcast, all the time trying to save her life, watching her back because of me. She deserve better than the life my mother had.

 

Sango sit at his side and after taking a deep breath, pass one arm around his shoulders. Miroku sit on his other side.

 

- You are really stupid InuYasha, you know that ? (She says, nicely) I understand what you want to say but you can't do that

 

- What do you…

 

- Let me finish. I can't even imagine what was your life before Kagome, how was the life of your mother. But Kagome are strong. We all know, beside Kagome, that you have feelings for her too. But you have to understand that what you do just make her suffer but will not change anything.

 

- But…

 

- Look at how many youkai and human mans alike, beside Kouga, want her ? How many kidnapped her for that. Kouga is just the only one in live at this moment. Even Naraku some how want her too, that's why he so fiercely want to kill her. And for human, how many in this side and the other side of the well want her ? But the only one she want is you. You can't change her mind now or she would have leave already after all that happened. She loves you and she thinks that is only one side love. But she still stay by your side.

She is incredible ! look at you, me, houshi-sama, Shippo, she saved us, all of us, and somewhere changed us only by her presence. Because of her, we have the desire to really fight, to live ! And I'm sure she doesn't even see it (a little laugh) how important she is. She is the reason of the existence of own strange group.

Before her, I through exactly the same thing that other humans there and it's the same for Houshi-sama. What you said they think about demon and half-demon…

 

- Hai and I can say, InuYasha, that before her, never I would have guess that I could have an hanyou for best friend. Or even a beautiful, stunny Miko with the purest heart I never saw, coming from the future and she …

 

- Calm down Monk, I understand your point so stop it before I knock you out

 

- Or me

 

-We must go after her. She is really too away from the well to go back home, he says softly with an indescriptible emotion in his voice

 

- I go find her with Kirara

 

- Ok, it's better that it wasn't me or I would have the taste of the soil in my mouth for a week

 

Sango and Miroku laugh and Inu smile lightly

Sango get up : - you are lucky today, she sat you just once before leaving. The last time that was how many ?

 

- seven

 

The slayer and the monk laugh like mad.

With that, Sango leave after the miko on the back of Kirara in her true form.

Miroku put a hand on the shoulder of InuYasha

 

- Don't worry InuYasha. She will forgive you, like she always do

 

- I don't deserve it

 

Grin of Miroku : Hai, most of the time you don't deserve it but Kagome-sama is a kind heart, she always forgive

 

- Yeah (avec a smirk) she even can forgive you when you grop her and spy her on her bath

 

Miroku clears his throad

 

- of course only after tried to kill you. InuYasha laugh a little

 

- Yeah, my head still hurt through. Can you avoid to remind her when she will go back. (after a moment) hey, where is Shippo ?

 

 

End of the video.

 

 

 

888888888888888888888

 

 

 

The room fall in an unesasy silence. Everyone in the room is without voice, turn towards the young Miko.

Kagome stays, unmoving, eyes unfocused, the sound of the video still playing in her head.

 

- Shippo, this video, it was…

 

- Hai. It was two days before the last battle with Naraku.

 

She gets up.

 

- Kagome… ?

 

- I just need a moment. I will be fine. Just leave me two seconds, Shippo-chan…Don't come close, please.

 

She walks a little away of the table and squats, her hands on the ground.

Tears run all the way on her cheeks, chin and fall… Every glances are on her, curious of what happens or will happen when a pink light start to surround her.

She whispered : Baka

After like five minutes, she raise, the light little by little fade away. She take a few deep breathes and come close the table again.

Hesitant at first, Shippo approach his mother figure and jump on her, embracing her very tight. She returns his embrace. Shippo cries too.

Kirara jumps on the shoulder of Kagome, rubbing her body a little against her and licking her tears which continue to flow.

 

- I miss them

 

- Hai, I miss them too, Shippo-chan

 

She take others deep breathes before posing the little kitsune on the table after a kiss on his forehead. She take Kirara and same thing, caresses before posing her too.

She brush her last tears and smile lightly at everyone. She walks towards the Lady of the North. She takes the cell phone, turn it off and put it on her bag.

When she turn around she came face to face with Kouga who look at her with a light of concern in his eyes. She embraces him and put a peck on his cheek with a thank you. He smiles softly at her and pass delicately the back of his hand on her cheek, making her blush, before returning sitting at the table.

Ayame take her hand in hers and make a little squeeze before going to take her sit too. Kagome give her a little sad smile. She take another profound breath before asking :

 

- So, have you questions ?

 

- Three

 

For the first time, Sesshomaru open his mouth, almost shoking everyone. They had almost forget that he was in the room with them.

 

- Pardon ?

 

- Miko, you said that you are here for three wishes of my dead half brother. You tell us just one. What are the others ?

He ask that or more precisely order her to respond to his question. He is Sesshomaru, lord of the Western Lands, isn't ?

 

- Ok…The first was to come back there, in the past, to try to help to protect the youkais' blood even I don't know what that mean. The second was to come here exactely today, at your home to ask if you known something about that and to prosose my aid. The third…The third concern you, Sesshomaru……personaly
