InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Twisted Fate ❯ Miroku's Pain ( Chapter 1 )

Twisted Fate

CH: 1 Miroku's pain

        “NOOO KAAAAGOOOMEEEE!” InuYasha yelled as Naraku came up from behind her, at that moment Kouga ran across and caught Kagome he picked her up and ran out of the way with her. InuYasha saw this and felt a little unneeded, as if he wasn't helping any at all he slashed at Naraku's golem using the KONGOU SOUHA or diamond wind scare slashing it to pieces as Miroku used the wind tunnel to finish it off. Everyone was happy at their most recent victory and Kouga left after his usual loving goodbye to Kagome after they finished they're talking Kagome noticed something,

“Hey guys have you seen InuYasha?” she asked

“No Kagome I haven't.” Sango said worriedly.

“Maybe he went off somewhere to-well you know.” Shippo said shyly

“But he left Tetsusaiga here.” Kagome stated.

“I don't know lets just go he'll catch up I'm sure, after all he is half- Youkai.” Miroku assured her. They left expecting InuYasha to turn up in a few minutes, he didn't and they went looking for him, Kagome started wondering if he'd gone to chase Naraku. They continued their search and after almost four hours of searching Kagome found InuYasha standing at a lake with small fish swimming through it.

“I-Inu-“Kagome started but was unable to finish for InuYasha had jumped off. “InuYasha!” she called

“OSUWARI!!!” she yelled and he fell to the ground she ran up next to him,

“What's going on.” She asked him and he just turned away from her.

“InuYasha, what's wrong with you!?” she asked again,

“Go away.” He said as he got to his feet able to move again, she decided to let him go, maybe it was best if he had some space to himself she thought they had been having some stress and he seemed very agitated lately `please come back InuYasha-sama' she thought. After running for quite some time InuYasha decided to stop and think some more `do I really need to distance myself like this?' He asked himself `I actually ran from Kagome. What's wrong with me? Am I truly that threatened by Kouga that I just left? Oh what am I doing? Shit I left Tetsusaiga!'

 “Damn! Now I have to go get it.” `But can I face Kagome after running away like that? God I hate it when Kouga does that!'

“Could it be that you care for her more than you think?” some one asked from behind, “Who's there!?” InuYasha said preparing to draw Tetsusaiga but realizing it wasn't there. “Oh, forgot Tetsusaiga did you? Don't worry you don't need it. I've no intention of fighting with you InuYasha, I want to see Naraku fall and I was told that in order for that to happen-well I can't say it just may ruin things, and by the way the name's Arashi.”

“Arashi eh? Well what exactly do you want with Kagome?” InuYasha was shocked to hear himself ask of her in front of anyone, where as only he had thought about his feelings for her.

“Nothing really I just need her to help me destroy Kikyou.” Arashi said

“What destroy Kikyou? Why?” and he immediately regretted defending Kikyou as he felt a pain in his gut at being torn in two, his love for Kagome was unsurpassable but he had loved Kikyou longer, and he couldn't just throw that away, something had to be done and the right way too.

“And that's your downfall InuYasha you can't hold on to the past, it will eventually destroy you and everyone you hold dear especially Kagome.”

“Look I don't know what your up to but I'm not going to stand for it!” InuYasha yelled

“So either shut your mouth or fight me damnit!” InuYasha yelled and charged at Arashi who just stood there as if nothing was happening InuYasha stopped before hitting him,

“As I already told InuYasha I've no intention of fighting with you.” Arashi stated calmly as ever.

“What are ya too scared?” InuYasha baited

“As I recall it was you who didn't follow through with the attack, not I.” Arashi said coolly “OK so what's ur deal?”

“All I ask is that you allow me to accompany you and help me kill Naraku as well as Kikyou and in return I shall lend you my services and abilities.”

“First thing, only if you leave Kagome alone and second what exactly can you do?” he was surprised by his complete disregard for Kikyou; usually he would step in help Kikyou first and then help Kagome.

“As you already know I can read minds, I can use swords and many other weapons as well as a few other abilities that I'm sure you'll learn of in my time with your group. Please understand though that I probably will leave you from time to time.” Arashi stated as if he had rehearsed it. “Fine you can come with us but tell me, how do you know of Naraku and Kikyou?” InuYasha asked

“I know Naraku as My half brother and Kikyou killed my father.”

“So you want revenge huh?”

“In a sense, yes I do but my main reason is to free my father from her tortured soul and let him rest.” Arashi answered

“And what did Naraku do to you?” InuYasha asked

“He killed my mother and brother Kenji.” Arashi said coolly

“OK let's go.” InuYasha said as he walked off. `How do I sort things out with Kagome? Man is she gonna be mad when I get back.'

“I don't think she will be InuYasha she cares for you and she thinks that you just needed space you did leave Tetsusaiga with them after all so she didn't know you were planning on leaving for good.”

“Gee thanks but would you cut that out? I do like my privacy when in my own head thank you!” InuYasha yelled. They walked for 5 hours before anyone spoke

“This way InuYasha.” Arashi said and turned toward the lake where InuYasha had fled Kagome `Don't tell me she's here and angry with me or even worse... hurt.'

“I'll leave you two alone you have some talking to do. You were in fact gone for a few days InuYasha.” Arashi spoke, Kagome noticed the presence and looked away from InuYasha as he walked up to her slowly.

“K- Kagome?” he asked and sat down next to her and she suddenly embraced him crying. “InuYasha what happened why? Why did you leave me?” she asked through sobs.

“I- I'm sorry Kagome I- I needed some time to think and I realized that this is where I belong, here, with you. Oh Kagome I'm so sorry.” InuYasha said as he bit back his pride, he embraced her tightly.

“I'll never leave you again Kagome I promise, oh I'm so sorry Kagome.” He said, she looked up at him.

“That's the first time you've ever really told me you were sorry InuYasha.” He nodded, “Yeah and I hope it's the last time I have to.” He said smiling weakly.

“Oh InuYasha I'd thought I lost you.”

“No you haven't I'm right here for you.” He said and just held her for who knows how long.
“Hey Miroku why hasn't Kagome come back?” Shippo asked

“Because she is with InuYasha.” Arashi answered from behind them making them all jump. “Who the hell are you? Speak!?” Miroku said, his hands on the curse beads.

“I am Arashi. Your new traveling companion.” He answered,

“And who OK'd this?” Sango asked, “InuYasha did.” Arashi replied,

“You lie.” Hippo yelled, “InuYasha been gone for three days.”

“And I came back with Arashi there.” InuYasha spoke, his arm around Kagome's shoulders.

“So I see you two worked things out?” Sango asked.

“Yes we did.” Kagome chimed happily as she exchanged glances with InuYasha.

“Yes, I'm sure we're all glad to hear it but who the hell is this InuYasha?” Miroku snapped, “Wow Miroku I've never heard you speak in such a way.” Kagome said,

“Well I tend to get irritated being told off by some youkai I don't even know, and how do you know he isn't with Naraku? Last I checked we weren't so trusting to random strangers.” Miroku said defiantly.

“I am Naraku's half brother.” Arashi said coolly as was apparently his standard, as Kagome thought `Arashi hasn't said anything to anyone about being a youkai, so how would Miroku know? Is there something he's not telling us?'

“Then that's all the more reason not to trust you.” Sango spoke this time

“Sango, Miroku what's gotten into you two? Usually you're the trusting ones.” Kagome said a little worried.

“Don't concern yourself with this Kagome, it's my deal, if Miroku and Sango don't like my decision then they can take it up with me.” InuYasha said.

“Hey Shippo isn't there some thing you need to give to InuYasha?” Arashi said.

“Oh yeah Tetsusaiga!” Shippo yelled a little startled at being noticed, he was trying to stay out of the conversation so as not to piss anyone off, he handed InuYasha the sword.

“Hey Shippo what do you think? Should we let Arashi travel with us?” Kagome asked to try and break the tie.

“I- well, I don't know, I guess it wouldn't really hurt to have him aid us I mean he does want to free his father from Kikyou's soul.” Shippo blinked surprised at what he'd said,

“Who told you that Shippo?” Kagome asked just as surprised.

“I did.” Arashi answered,

“When did you tell him, you haven't said anything?” Sango asked,

“Well if he can read minds why couldn't he talk to people in their minds?” InuYasha said,

“Of course why didn't I notice earlier, he can manipulate people's minds.” Miroku said as he walked off.

“Mi-” Kagome started but was cut off by Arashi,

“I'll handle it.” He said and followed after Miroku.

“Miroku please stop, I'm sorry I couldn't save hi-” Arashi started,

“DON'T SAY IT ARASHI, I DON'T WANT TO BE REMINDED OF IT, JUST- just stop please, why did you have to come back?” Miroku yelled,

“Because I know that you need my help Miroku, and please I didn't mean for him to-”

“I said don't say it!”

“OK I won't but you need to realize that it is a part of life, my coming back won't change a thing.”

“GO TO HELL! WIND TUNNEL!” Miroku removed the curse beads from his arm and started to suck Arashi into the void, but he didn't move.

“You know the cursed wind doesn't pull me in Miroku, so stop, it's futile.” Arashi spoke still as calmly as when he came. Miroku closed the air rip and stared at Arashi in anger,

“YOU TOLD ME YOU COULD SAVE HIM! AND YOU DIDN'T, you didn't, and now he's dead.” Miroku said weakly as he broke down.

“I'm sorry Miroku, I'll have the others give you some space.” Arashi said and turned to walk away as Miroku spoke at the ground.

“You can travel with us, but you stay the hell away from me and don't tell anyone about it.” “As you wish Miroku. I will tell no one.” With that Arashi turned and left to find the others scurrying away so as not to be caught.

“So you were listening in were you?” He spoke as if it meant nothing.

“What was Miroku so mad about?” Kagome asked.

“I promised I would not tell you, for his sake. Please understand.”

“Un-huh.” Kagome said a little worried.

“We know each other from a ways back don't worry.” Arashi said `Miroku was acting as though he didn't know Arashi, what's wrong with him? What is he trying to hide from us?' Kagome thought.

“Hey I smell something.” InuYasha said.

“I do as well, the scent of a youkai, NARAKU!” Arashi yelled as he raced forward he disappeared and when they all caught up to him he was dodging a blow from Naraku InuYasha drew Tetsusaiga and immediately used the wind scare, Naraku jumped out of the way, all the sudden the sky grew dark as Arashi transformed into a large beast with wings and scales for his hide.

“A Dragon?” InuYasha questioned as he jumped from Naraku's attack. Arashi swiped his tale at Naraku causing him to run into the Tetsusaiga and spear himself. Naraku smiled.

“Kukuku, you haven't killed me yet InuYasha.” Naraku sneered as he floated away.

“Get back here you bastard!” InuYasha yelled he turned around to the others and Arashi back in human form.

“And what was that Arashi?” InuYasha asked.
